Turbo Questions on F22A6

[CB7Nub]

In the future I want to add a turbo but I'm not sure how much power I want and what I'd have to replace to get that power. I was wondering if I could get an idea of what I need to replace for a certain amount of power, for example.

Stock 140 HP, 142 Torque. (Never dyno'ed)
+50 HP and Torque - Cylinder Head, Cams
+75 HP and Torque - ?
+100 HP and Torque - ?
+125 HP and Torque - ?
etc

If I have the money I would like to put up around 300 HP but I'm not sure if I really need that.

Depending on your setup and how well you tune it, you can make 225-300whp on a stock F22A6 with turbo.

I assume you're thinking of replacing the head with a DOHC head... which is actually a REALLY bad idea. The F22A head outflows just about every other option avilable to us.

As for your "what do I need for X amount of power" question... that's nearly impssible to answer. Different parts interact differently with each other. The number of combinations is infinite.

Search the Members Rides section for turbo cars to get an idea of what they're doing. For NA motors, check Granite CB7 for a fairly mild quality build, HondaFan81's "red" project for another, and his "white" project for something a bit more extreme. SOHCinWA and Bisimoto are the ones to look at for serious race builds (NA making 400hp or more)

My setup is 100% stock and around 410,000 KM on the engine. Makes sense about my "what do I need for X amount of power" question. Thanks for the rides listed there.

I'm thinking by 410,000 KM I'll need to replace a bunch of parts before I do anything serious.

i did 300 on a stock block stock tranny and axles, only change to motor was clutch and flywheel. 14psi and injectors on a super afc.

[CB7Nub]

Also note I got automatic, not manual.
Whats the injectors and a Super AFC?

im boosting my motor with 323 000km on it....boost till it blows then swap

[CB7Nub]

If I do that would just the engine be gone? Would other parts be affected?

[deevergote]

I'd stay away from the SAFC method of tuning. Best to do it properly with an ECU. It's more involved, and slightly more expensive... but I feel it's much safer. (turbo90accord IS far more experienced than I am, though... though that also means that he knows how to take shortcuts without making a mess.)

[CB7Nub]

What's the SAFC method?

[deevergote]

Using an SAFC to tune your car.

It would be to your benefit to throw any terms you don't know into Google, so you can understand what people are talking about.

Yeah, those guys don't know how to tune F22As at all. But they put them out damn quick when they catch on fire!

ROFL.... nice..


note id suggest when you do turbocharge that you get a turbo on the larger/laggier side.. why?

well if u get something small and very spool happy.. ur automatic tranny will be having daily seizures.. a larger turbo will allow for slower spool times and thus less drivetrain "shock"

get something atleast with a .63ar turbine housing..no 14b or t25 please..

[deevergote]

A small turbo will create more heat as well, which will eventually damage your engine. It'll also spool up more quickly, which sounds like a good thing... but you'll be driving around in boost all the time, which means you'll be burning a good amount of fuel.

What are some good turbo's I could put on?
So you guys are saying I could just snap on turbo and be fine? No major mods?

Just an new ECU or tweak it? (Is tweaking possible?)
I want this car to be reliable too as I'd be using it for work and stuff.
